Keeper Of The
Keys fan review
Brewer &
Shipley were always consummate live performers, and if you want to hear
them when they were in their performing prime, this recording should be
your destination.
This live concert was broadcast live by a New York City radio
station in December 1971. It is proof of why so many Brewer & Shipley fans
preferred to see them without backup musicians...just these two wonderful
musicians, their voices, and two acoustic guitars. Unplugged long
before VH1 coined the term. |

The
fourteen songs included were typical of their concerts at that time,
starting out with Blind Lemon Jefferson's "One Kind Favor" and ending with a sing-a-long
(in
this case "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere"). All three Dylan songs
that Brewer & Shipley ever covered were included: "All Along The Watchtower",
"The Mighty Quinn", and "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere".
When Brewer & Shipley asked the studio audience if they had heard of a
young songwriter whose song they were about to cover, only a few audience members
responded. The duo were prophetic when they predicted that the audience would
soon become aware of him and then launched into their cover of "Rock Me
On The Water", months before "Doctor My Eyes" would bring
a young Jackson Browne widespread recognition.
The
concert included Brewer &
Shipley's greatest hits "One Toke Over The Line"
(with extra verse), "Tarkio Road", "Oh Mommy", "People Love Each Other",
"Witchi Tai To", "Shake Off The Demon", "Don't Want To Die In Georgia",
and the concert only version of "Indian Summer/To Love Somebody".
This concert is almost an exact replica of my memory of
Brewer & Shipley shows I attended in and around Kansas City circa
1969 through 1971.
Concerts like this are what transformed first
time Brewer & Shipley concert goers into life long fans.
Its a
bootleg CD with at least two annoying tape speed pauses, but even with it's flaws it is a my favorite of their live recordings. |
